We are actually working on a photoshoot in London during the month of August.
We would like to shoot with an old London cab, but the production team are having a hard time finding a authentic London Cab in a so short period of time and during holidays!

Is there any one of you aware of someone close to London that would be interested in renting his cab for a 1 day shooting?

I'll be on the set and will of course make sure than the car will be well treated :)

If you are filming a period drama I am sure cabbies will tell you that you need to say what vintage of old taxi...FX3, FX4, TX1....there have been many iterations of the black cab....if your film is period specific you need someone with the right sort...e types were never black cabs sadly

Sorry for the misunderstanding.
We are doing a contemporary picture of a business man in London, for a very elegant watch brand.

We want a taxi as an accessories first because taxi + business goes well together (much more difficult to show business + UBER ;). Then because we are in London, and taxies in London are quite famous.

So the period of the taxi has no constrain, except the fact that it will be part of the picture, and therefore need to add values to the overall picture. That's why we came up with the idea not take a new one, as they are far less sexy than old ones.

But we found what we are looking for :) thank's to all for your kind help
